Navigating Lyme's Nervous Maze: Managing Neurological Lyme Symptoms
Lyme disease, with its potential to profoundly impact the nervous system, presents a significant health challenge. Known as Lyme neuroborreliosis, this facet of Lyme disease highlights the need for nuanced, comprehensive medical care. Up to 15% of Lyme disease patients experience neurological symptoms, which can range from debilitating nerve pain to cognitive impairments, underscoring the importance of expert intervention.
Unraveling Neurological Lyme Symptoms
The onset of neurological symptoms in Lyme disease often follows the initial tick bite by 3-5 weeks, appearing after the early flu-like symptoms. These can affect both the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), encompassing motor and sensory nerves. Patients may experience a wide array of symptoms, from radiculoneuritis and cranial neuritis to lymphocytic/monocytic meningitis, each presenting unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, Lyme disease can lead to long-term neurological issues such as memory disorders, sleep disturbances, and nerve damage, making early and effective intervention critical.
Keystone Total Health Approach: Tailored Therapies for Neurological Lyme
At Keystone Total Health, we recognize the complexity of Lyme disease and its profound impact on patients' lives, especially when it affects the nervous system. Our approach to managing neurologic Lyme disease is grounded in a comprehensive understanding of the condition and tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient. Dr. Hart and Dr. Aoki lead our efforts, bringing specialized knowledge and a compassionate approach to treatment. Here are some of the therapies we offer that can help alleviate the neurological symptoms associated with Lyme disease:
Direct Resonance Testing (DRT)
Direct Resonance Testing (DRT) is the cornerstone of our approach, offering a non-invasive way to address the neurological symptoms of Lyme disease. DRT is a form of frequency medicine to see your reactivity towards toxins, pollutants, allergens and other matter in your environment. They use DRT to pick up different frequencies, or energetic outputs, that your body's tissues are putting off, to help determine what is going on with your body and the best way to treat it to deal with your unique case.
Nutritional Counseling
Proper nutrition is vital for patients battling Lyme disease, as it supports the body's healing processes and can help mitigate some of the neurological symptoms. Our nutritional counseling services provide personalized dietary recommendations designed to boost immune function, reduce inflammation, and support neurological health.
Detoxification Therapies
Lyme disease can lead to the buildup of toxins in the body, exacerbating neurological symptoms. Our detoxification therapies, including sauna therapy and lymphatic drainage, are designed to help the body eliminate these toxins, reducing symptoms and promoting overall health.
Mind-Body Therapies
Recognizing the connection between mental and physical health, we offer mind-body therapies such as meditation and biofeedback. These therapies can help patients manage the stress and anxiety that often accompany Lyme disease, improving their ability to cope with neurological symptoms.
